Did about what I expected on my coyotes-
with 3 grades, averaged $28.66- that is tossing out 6 rubbed, poor, etc coyotes that I knew were poor when I put them up- 4 went for $8 each, 2 for $5 each so if you are a purest it would drop my total average a bit. my average last year with everything was just under $30. they said coyotes down 10-20% this year with a tougher grade, and that appears to be at least the case here
high end same as last year, far tougher grade in middle and lower end over last year- I expected no more, and am glad to be out of them at that average.
the few reds I had- $15 for a couple nice colored/furred ones, $10 for the others
badger no real market- I got $10, $15 and $20 for the 3 I sold whole
had a handful of coon- all 2XX and up, nice color- $8 average green- bigger collections not close to that- coon is a tuff, tuff market
------------------------
asked about water- top rat $4- averages with kits and damaged under $3
mink....$2-3 F, $5-7 M
beaver- $5-10
Asked about volume coming in- 10% of an average year. Asked if many coyotes- mine were first trapped ones he's got, although shot ones coming in and on carcass-
if fur is as tied to oil as they say- going to be a long time rebounding- oil prices suppose to stay low well into 2017
